Imperfect 10


Top 10 reasons waiting ten months stinks...

10. Four words: Have. You. Heard. Anything.
9. Ten special holidays and birthdays have come and gone without her.
8. Giving away buckets of clothes I thought she'd actually wear.
7. Not going back east for a year because we could hear "any day" and missing my family.
6. Explaining the wait to a sensitive 4-year-old.
5. Explaining the wait to a sensitive 41-year-old.
4. Starting to forget what she felt like in my arms and the smell of her hair.
3. Living every minute of every day wondering if she's ok and wondering when...
2. My serious addiction to email, cell phone, and other families' blogs.
1. This face. This funny, sassy, sweet, loving, adorable face.
